Improve the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of the operations that power the global economy.

Samsara (NYSE: IOT) is the pioneer of the Connected Operations™ Cloud, a platform that enables organizations that depend on physical operations to harness Internet of Things (IoT) data to develop actionable insights and improve their operations. At Samsara, we are helping improve the safety, efficiency and sustainability of the physical operations that power our global economy. Representing more than 40% of global GDP, these industries are the infrastructure of our planet, including agriculture, construction, field services, transportation, and manufacturing — and we are excited to help digitally transform their operations at scale.

Working at Samsara means you’ll help define the future of physical operations and be on a team that’s shaping an exciting array of product solutions, including Video-Based Safety, Vehicle Telematics, Apps and Driver Workflows, and Equipment Monitoring. As part of a recently public company, you’ll have the autonomy and support to make an impact as we build for the long term.

About the role:

The Safety team is pioneering the application of AI to make physical operations safer at global scale. We build intelligent systems that combine computer vision, VLMs, sensor data, environmental context, and behavioral patterns to detect risk and prevent accidents before they happen for some of the largest, most complex physical operations companies in the world. We’re looking for an entrepreneurial, technically‑minded Product Manager to take one of our largest and fastest‑growing businesses – Video‑based Safety – to the next level.

This is a high‑ownership role launching and scaling new safety products for our customers, leveraging data from our millions of deployed devices.

In this role, you’ll define and build the core components of our perception and prediction stack, deepening our understanding of the road, environment, and surrounding vehicles and using that understanding to change driver behavior. You’ll be empowered to experiment boldly, challenge conventional thinking, and demonstrate the transformative power of AI when applied to the most challenging and complex operational environments.

We’re looking for someone with a high degree of customer‑obsession and a passion for changing the physical world. The ideal candidate has spent time as a founder or early‑startup engineer/PM with deep experience applying AI/ML to solve customer problems and has led at‑scale products. You will collaborate closely with dedicated teams in Engineering and Design, as well as work cross‑functionally with Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success to propel our video‑based safety product to its next phase of growth.

• Define and lead the roadmap for core components of Samsara’s perception stack running on millions of vehicles worldwide.
• Develop AI/ML models that enable Samsara to have a comprehensive understanding of driver behavior and crash risk, and interventions required to reduce that risk.
• Work with our talented engineering teams to conceptualize and launch new safety products to help drive a fast‑growing, at‑scale business with $1B+ in ARR.
• Build relationships with customers at the forefront of physical operations to deeply understand their business, their needs, and inform our roadmap.
• Lead by example in using AI tools to accelerate product development, customer research, and decision‑making.
• Champion, role‑model, and embed Samsara’s cultural principles (Focus on Customer Success, Build for the Long Term, Adopt a Growth Mindset, Be Inclusive, Win as a Team) as we scale globally and across new offices.

Minimum requirements for the role:

• 7+ years in a product management and/or product‑oriented engineering role.
• Track record of delivering business results for both 0‑to‑1 and at‑scale products.
• Demonstrated experience and passion working on products that leverage state‑of‑the‑art AI/ML/CV.
• Strong technical background, ability to grasp technical concepts, and establish credibility with engineers.
